What iAgentur does

iAgentur (operating under the doing-business-as name Unic Apps AG) is a Swiss boutique mobile application development agency that designs, builds, and delivers custom iOS and Android applications for business clients. Founded in 2008, the company was among the earliest entrants in the App Store ecosystem—its first product, the 20 Minuten iPhone App, was the 772nd app listed in the iTunes Store. The firm serves organizations that require professional mobile app delivery but lack in-house development capacity, with the 20 Minuten Media/Publishing engagement serving as a flagship reference project.

The company's core offering is end-to-end custom app development, delivered on a project basis with pricing quoted per engagement and contracts governed by the SWICO/SwissICT standard service agreement. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultation-driven: prospective clients are routed to an introductory video call for an unbinding exploratory discussion, after which a custom scope is defined. Marketing is channeled primarily through Unic AG's portfolio and case-study infrastructure rather than independent demand generation.

Since 2022, iAgentur has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unic AG, a larger Swiss digital services firm established in 1998. Operations have been relocated from the original Thalwil address (Gotthardstrasse 18) to Hardturmstrasse 3 in central Zürich. The geographic scope remains Switzerland-only, the headcount band is 1-10 employees, and there are no disclosed funding rounds, patents, AI capabilities, or international expansion signals.
